Title: Call to reopen public access over Cookham's Odney Weir
Post by: Cookham Webmaster on May 06, 2023, 02:20:26 AM
A call has been made for public access to be reopened over a weir which is described as one of the ‘gems of Cookham’.

The Environment Agency (EA) closed the crossing over Odney Weir after two men died swimming in the water near the Cookham beauty spot in June 2020.

The path leads across to green open space owned by the Environment Agency, named Sashes Island.

The Cookham Society is now campaigning for public access to be reinstated so people can enjoy the surroundings.
